Default Buying new car

I have a 2004 auto mach 1 with 7,000 miles and putting it in the garage, so the value will stay up. Now im thinking of buying a 5spd mach 1 because i heard they r really different from the auto mach 1s or getting an svt cobra(03-04) or an 02 camaro SS, which i dont want to go chevy cause i dont know much about them. Want to know what u guys think cause i really love the mach 1s.

I would just drive the auto mach to be honest. It will take a long time before the cars start to actually gain value. Cars aren't really investments. Think about the people with low mileage original cars that sell for $35-40k now. They probably paid a comparable amount of money when they bought it, when you take inflation into account.

To answer your other question though. It depends on what you want. Do you want huge power or just a nice bolt on 4v? The Termi will give you huge power for not much money. If I already had a Mach, I would go for the Termi.
